¿Dictador o don Quijote ? El retrato de Franco en la película Buen viaje, excelencia (Albert Boadella, 2003)

subject

description

"Buen viaje, excelencia" (Albert Boadella, 2003) is a satirical fiction presenting iconoclasts looks crossed on the last days of Franco. Like a modern Don Quixote, the dictator appears enclosed and private of his reason in the imaginary world of his warriors memorabilia. The German psychiatrist who takes care of him makes the viewer share a look at the grotesque of a regime that is dying. Relatives of the dictator are portrayed as a group of predatory hypocrites, submitted before the warlord but anxious to recover his inheritance. Boadella thus proposes a look back at the end of the dictatorship, too corrosive perhaps according to its sparse distribution.
